If you check out the pictures on here, you will see that I may have good reason for adding some other fixings also!!

Been doing good little bits and pieces to the car. But been getting some good use out of it this year too.

Done 3 events in belgium since the previous pictures of its first outing over here.

First one was going well, up until a misfire occurring and gradually getting worse. Found that 2 injectors had gone down... at the same time pretty much. Neither were flowing bugger all. Bit of a downer. Combine that with the gear stick snapping off and the clutch cable breaking. It was an interesting day...

Second event much better. Brought her home 40th overall out of 120 odd cars and 2nd in the 2 litre class. Went well all day til about to go over the final podium and a nasty engine rattle. Cue lots of frantic pushing and towing. A bolt holding the trumpets on the throttle bodies had come loose and been eaten by the engine we eventually found. So rebuilt the bottom end. Repaired the head and she's back together.

Got out for another rally 3 weeks ago. Came 3rd in class and 37th overall. Was pleased with the rebuilt engine performing well still.

Got some video clips put together I just uploaded. Il link below. I'm not throwing it about too much yet, and the footage doesn't look hugely fast but we were going well!

Goes & sounds amazing Martin ....really well done

Love the Box & changes !

The Aero catch pin that broke was it the Red alloy ones ?....had one break & told them ...they sent me silver steel ones

Ive not really done much updating of this for a while. Nearly a year even!

When I had the head repaired last time it seemed alright to start with but obviously wasn't at the end of the day.

I ended up having to get a whole new head done as the previous repairs managed to end up leaving none of the exhaust valves seating, a broken valve spring appearing from somewhere and to top it off the one of the buckets under the cam appeared to have been fitted with a hammer.

Anyway, I had a new head done that was far better than the previous one even when new. All going very well now. Making just under 240hp and 235nm torque.

First time out with it I managed 32nd out of 120 cars, and second in the 1600-2000cc class. We were 3 seconds off first in class!

A loose alternator and loosing the belt brought an end to the last rally despite starting off fairly well.

I should have a clip here the other half took as one of the stages went past the service area. A shame the intercom wasn't a bit clearer as I backed off a bit more than I needed to for the corner. Nothing worse than not being 100% certain on the direction of the upcoming corner!

Here's the short but sweet clip.

Jenvey 45s. With a maxi style airbox.
Kent PT84 cams and Kent valve train. Solid lifters etc.
Well worked head.
4-2-1 manifold and self made 2.5 inch exhaust.
High compression pistons and forged rods.
Omex 600 ecu.

Think that's most of it...

Not me I'm afraid...!

I picked the omex up with the jenveys several years ago now.

Sounding good

Love it Martin
